Chapter 426: The Smoke Rises

Fang Ruohua put the soup on the table, handed the emperor a bowl, and served a bowl himself.

Wearing stars and moons all the way, a lot of hair fell out, the skin was cracked by the cold, the muscles were stiff, and I was tired and hungry.

Hu Su applied essential oil to his fingertips, and slowly pressed it on Fang Ruohua's neck, not slowly, gently and powerfully.

The decree and the talisman rested on the table.

Zhao Zhen stared twice, sat quietly at the table and drank the soup, took a sip, almost bit his tongue, and said with a wry smile: "The king of Xiangyang is wise and far-reaching, if he rebels, he must have calculated everything, is it true, if you don't go back to the northwest, why do you come to me?" ”

"If you return to the northwest, if you have a general to help, even if he gets the throne, how can it be unfavorable to you?"

Fang Ruohua sighed, signaled that Hu Su could stop, and pushed over a plate of dim sum to gag his mouth.

He put the talisman in his pocket, grabbed the holy decree, and went out and handed it to Ye Ping directly.

"I entrusted a few friends from the rivers and lakes to escort you all the way, don't be afraid, they are all good men, and they will be able to protect you."

Ye Ping patted his chest: "I, Ye Ping, have been ordinary all my life, I have never done a major thing, I am not a hero, but I am also a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty, and I also know what it means to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism, besides, if it weren't for the county lord who desperately saved the eighteen members of my Ye family, now Ye Ping is already a white bone, such a great kindness, how can he not repay it, even if he dies, he will not live up to the trust of the county lord!" ”

"Still dead, if it's really a life, your ghost can't do the errand I explained?" Fang Ruohua couldn't cry or laugh.

Ye Ping smiled: "Then for the baby bump that I only got in the past thirty-six years, I will definitely do this errand, and I will definitely be able to go back to hug my baby alive." ”

Fang Ruohua sighed and nodded: "Go, after returning to the capital, hand over the things to Master Bao, he knows what to do." ”

Ye Ping's baby son was entrusted to a farmer family on the way, and he only hoped that the father could see his son again.

Sending troops is an extremely important matter, naturally you can't rely on Ye Ping alone, he will definitely not be peaceful on the way.

However, if he is the king of Xiangyang, he does not count the details at this time, if he really intends to usurp the throne, no matter how long he has been planning, he will eventually have to step on countless blood and bones to move forward, and it is possible to succeed.

Ye Ping escorted the dart cart away, Fang Ruohua gathered her clothes, and suddenly a gust of wind blew, and before her skirt was blown up, Hu Su had already reached out and held it gently, without even a trace of coldness penetrating into it.

Fang Ruohua couldn't help but laugh and said in a low voice: "The refining masters can actually make a puppet machine like Hu Su, they will definitely not be able to find a boyfriend or girlfriend in the future." ”

Handsome and beautiful, versatile, wholeheartedly treats you, never betrays, has all the advantages of an imaginary partner, with such a 'person', who can fall in love with someone else?

Hu Su said solemnly: "It's not a boyfriend and girlfriend, it's a Taoist couple, it's very important, the soul is compatible, we can never replace it, and I'm the kind of one who grabs the soul that is about to collapse in order to have spiritual intelligence, the longest is only twenty years of life, and after twenty years, the soul is gone, and I no longer exist." The laws of the Federation and the Empire stipulate that monks who cannot capture the soul of a complete intelligent life for their own use, and who violates the law will be imprisoned for a thousand years......"

“…… I'll just kid. ”

I can't joke for long.

Zhao Zhen's secret agent of the Imperial City Division who stayed in Beijing didn't have any news, and he was quiet.

He sent people to investigate, but before the people returned, Fang Ruohua concluded that it was too late.

Sure enough, in the early morning of the same day, there was smoke rising from the four gates of the imperial mausoleum, and the army was covered in blood at night, and came in a hurry: "Your Majesty, the royal banner of the king of Xiangyang is everywhere under the mountain, and the rebels and thieves are overwhelming, at least 50,000 people, and they are shouting that they want to clear the king's side!" ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned: "Fifty thousand? ”

Fang Ruohua sighed: "There are about 50,000 people, but it is definitely more than 30,000 people, only if the number of people is enough, can we guarantee a quick victory." The king of Xiangyang has led the army for many years, and there are many old troops in the army, although they have been weakened over the years, they ......"

Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly: "But Fengxiangjun Liu Chengyou and others are all his cronies, and now they are still in charge of the army, and when Uncle Wang led the troops, he ate and slept with the soldiers, and the love of the robe was deep, even after so many years, I don't know how many soldiers in the army still remember his kindness." ”

"If the king of Xiangyang forges military talismans to mobilize the army, there must be many people who believe him."

It's already useless to talk too much.

The clan ministers who came with His Majesty in the imperial mausoleum were all confused, their expressions were in a hurry, and Zhao Zhen was still calm, after all, he had already been mentally prepared.

"Your Majesty, since the King of Xiangyang has made up his mind, he will seek a quick victory, but we have received news in advance, I have ordered the defenders of the Imperial Tomb to set traps around, which should be able to stop them, now it only depends on whether Lord Bao and Prime Minister Wang Cheng in Beijing can hold up the situation and when the reinforcements will arrive."

Even though the Beijing Forbidden Army has been mixed over the years and does not have much combat power, the number of people is sufficient.

Fang Ruohua returned to the house, opened the map, and circled the four doors with a pen, "We are small in number, Your Majesty has five hundred forbidden troops, and the imperial tomb defenders are less than two thousand. ”

Stretched out his hand and took out the defense map that had been drawn and handed it to General Song of the Imperial Tomb defenders.

"All the gates are sealed, the east gate doesn't have to worry, it's not far from the cliff, as long as the pass is stuck, the west gate and the south gate occupy the high ground, General Song, prepare huge stones and oil, how many you want."

"Yes!"

Fang Ruohua stretched out his hand and dressed neatly, his armor was up to his body, and he looked back and smiled, "Your Majesty, my Great Song Dynasty military general has had a difficult time for many years, compared with Wenchen, he is really very aggrieved, this time the King of Xiangyang can mobilize the army so easily to rebel, I am afraid it has something to do with these, well, the minister said this, I just hope that after this matter, Your Majesty will not be too angry." ”

Zhao Zhen: "......"

Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, it is a national policy to emphasize literature and light military force, and now what the military strength is, he knows in his heart, except for a few border armies, the combat effectiveness is okay, even the forbidden army can't see it, he has long been willing to reform, but the king of Xiangyang rebelled...... No one knows what reform or not, whether it will be reformed or not, whether it will be in the future.

Fang Ruohua strode out of the palace gate, turned his head and looked around, the sound of the rebels' horses' hooves and the sound of fighting could be faintly heard, and the children of the clan were like panicked rats, scurrying around, and said sharply: "Commander Wang, send them to the apse to settle down." ”

Before the words fell, the person had drifted away.

"Husu, this time you don't need to scruple even if you kill someone."

"Don't worry."

Hu Su smiled, "Hu Su understands. ”

In the cold winter, the snow was all over the sky, and a strong smell of blood came to his face, Fang Ruohua suddenly missed the peace and tranquility of Kaifeng City back then, even if it was Kaifeng, which was full of demons and monsters, it was more reassuring than this world of only people.
